We also heard from the Deputy Chief Constable who spoke to BBC Radio

said the inspectors knew th`t these further changes were being planned.

Those plans have not been announced yet, but it is a safe bet

that they will involve seeing fewer bobbies here in Nottinghamshire

Well, earlier we spoke to Nottinghamshire's Police and

by taking on more civilians as well as uniformed officers.

We are doing that, and the report says that.

It is pretty clear, if you're investigating IT crime,

Internet crime, what you want is not a warranted officer, yot want

I guess what the inspectors are saying, `nd it is

right, I don't resign from this we need to do it more quickly.

Say you promised more officdrs, that is your big pledge,

but in reality, you're going to have to cut that back.

Over the two`year period, we will have recruited

That is what is panning out from the report,

What we're doing is what the inspectorate say,

we have to change the mix of staff and we're doing th`t.
